TENDER BAKED CHICKEN LIVER RUMAKI



Tender Baked Chicken Liver Rumaki image

This version of these popular little hors d'oeuvres was shared with me by Chef Claude of the Pinetop Country Club chef, here in Arizona. He bakes his rumaki which leaves them still soft and moist when fully cooked rather than a hard, dry lump. My husband and I love this version and can make a meal of them! Since these marinate, you must start them early. Marinating time is not included in the preparation time.

Categories     Chicken Livers

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb chicken liver
1 lb bacon (your favorite)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash and trim chicken livers; cut each in half. Cut bacon strips in half and precook strips halfway. This is important since otherwise they would not finish cooking in a timely manner when baked. Be sure not to cook the bacon till it is crispy or it will not wrap around the livers properly.
  • Wrap one bacon strip around each liver half. Some people also include a water chestnut half with the liver, but I do not.
  • Fasten bacon around liver with a toothpick.
  • In a bowl or large plastic storage bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and bourbon, if used. Add the prepared rumaki and cover the bowl or seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 6 to 8 hours or two hours at the least. Drain well.
  • Arrange rumaki on a baking sheet with sides. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until cooked as desired.

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN LIVERS



Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Livers image

Provided by Myron Mixon

Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Appetizer     Bacon

Yield serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces sliced bacon
1 pound chicken livers
1 cup Jack's Old South Huney Muney Cluck Rub, or 1 recipe Basic Chicken Rub (page 20)
1 1/2 cups Jack's Old South Hickory Sauce, or 1 recipe Basic Hickory Sauce (page 22)

Steps:

  • Heat a smoker to 325°F.
  • Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise. Set the slices aside.
  • Rinse the chicken livers and pat them dry. Lightly prick each one with a fork to prevent popping. Sprinkle the livers with the chicken rub. Wrap each liver in a bacon strip, and secure it with a toothpick. Place the wrapped chicken livers in a medium-size aluminum pan.
  • Place the pan in the smoker and cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until the bacon is thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove the pan from the smoker and glaze the livers thoroughly with the hickory sauce. Munch.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Chicken Livers: Choose plump and firm livers with a deep red color. Avoid any livers that have a greenish or yellowish tinge, as these may be older and have a bitter taste.
  • Soak the Livers in Milk: Soaking the livers in milk for 30 minutes to an hour helps remove any impurities and mellows their flavor. This step is optional but recommended for a more tender and flavorful result.
  • Use Good Quality Bacon: The type of bacon you use can greatly impact the overall taste of the dish. Opt for thick-cut, good quality bacon that is not too salty or smoky.
  • Don't Overcook the Livers: Chicken livers are best when cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking can make them tough and rubbery. Aim to cook them for no more than 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve Immediately: Baked chicken livers with bacon are best served immediately after cooking. This allows you to enjoy them at their most flavorful and tender.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken livers with bacon is a quick, easy, and delicious appetizer or main course. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. The combination of tender chicken livers, crispy bacon, and savory seasonings makes this recipe a winner. So next time you're looking for a tasty and budget-friendly meal, give baked chicken livers with bacon a try. You won't be disappointed!
